Switzerland still holds Haiti's Duvalier millions 40 years later

A new report highlights that Switzerland continues to hold millions of dollars belonging to Haiti's Duvalier regime, 40 years after the funds were frozen.

Background

Haiti has a long history of political instability and economic hardship, exacerbated by corruption and the illicit outflow of funds. The Duvalier regime, which ruled Haiti for decades, is widely associated with significant human rights abuses and the misappropriation of state assets. Efforts to repatriate these funds are part of broader international initiatives to combat illicit finance and support developing nations.
